| Original Score: 0/4 | Jan 7, 2004
Schaeffer has written a clever, plausible, funny, and romantic film.
| May 13, 2003
By turns touching, raucously amusing, uncomfortable, and, yes, even sexy, Never Again is a welcome and heartwarming addition to the romantic comedy genre.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 8, 2002
This film is just plain awful, despite the efforts of two enormously talented and likable stars who are ultimately done in by an impossible script.
| Oct 21, 2002
When a director deliberately sends his own film down such a well-worn path, you know you're in the presence of a truly bad director.
| Original Score: 1/10 | Oct 11, 2002
Tambor and Clayburgh make an appealing couple - he's understated and sardonic, she's appealingly manic and energetic. Both deserve better.

I never thought I'd say this, but I'd much rather watch teens poking their genitals into fruit pies!

Both awful and appealing.

Schaeffer has crafted a winsomely appealing love story for -- surprise! -- the over-50 set.
| Sep 9, 2002
There's something deeply creepy about Never Again, a new arrow in Schaeffer's quiver of ineptitudes.
Full Review | Sep 6, 2002
As shameless a love story as anything that Hollywood has ever done.
| Original Score: C- | Aug 24, 2002
Despite these annoyances, the capable Clayburgh and Tambor really do a great job of anchoring the characters in the emotional realities of middle age.

If Never Again is the best film we can get about older adult sexuality, it's no wonder we're not seeing more movies like it.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 23, 2002
Sex and romance after 50? Here's proof that it not only exists, a movie about it can be funny and cute.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 11, 2002
After a while, Never Again gets so busy celebrating ageless virility that it forgets to tell a decent story.
| Original Score: C+ | Aug 8, 2002
Tambor and Clayburgh are actually both very likeable in their roles, but the script is just miserable.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 3, 2002
In theory, a middle-aged romance pairing Clayburgh and Tambor sounds promising, but in practice it's something else altogether -- clownish and offensive and nothing at all like real life.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 2, 2002
An intelligent, funny look at dating and relationships among the middle-aged.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 27, 2002
There are enough things that poke out rather boldly from Never Again's modest proportions to keep it verging on interesting. And not all of them are strapped to Jill Clayburgh's waist.
